FAQs

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

For a smart-casual look, opt for dress socks or fine-knit socks that complement the shoe colour. Avoid athletic socks.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or frequent cleaning.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to superior comfort and reducing foot odour.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

The Clarence Brogue Shoe is best suited for smart-casual occasions. For very formal events like black-tie dinners, a more formal dress shoe would be appropriate.

How do I clean the brogue detailing?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to carefully clean the perforated detailing. Ensure no excess moisture remains.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a leather conditioner and use a shoe tree to help maintain shape.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The Ortholite insole will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Scuffs or scratches on the leather

Use a matching colour shoe polish to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to the Ortholite insole.
  • Premium leather construction offers a sophisticated appearance.
  • Versatile design suitable for various smart-casual settings.
  • Durable build quality for longevity.
  • Classic brogue detailing enhances style.

Cons

  • May not be formal enough for black-tie events.
  • Leather may require regular conditioning to maintain appearance.
  • Brogue detailing might be too decorative for minimalist tastes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The Base London Clarence Brogue Shoe is designed for adult men and pairs well with a variety of smart-casual attire. It is particularly well-suited for trousers, chinos, and smart jeans.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner regularly, especially after cleaning, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying. Use a neutral or brown polish as appropriate for the colour.
  3. Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray, particularly for the brown leather variant, to protect against moisture and stains.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees are recommended to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
